Nutritional Assessment Anthropometry

This question requires identifying anthropometric methods used for nutritional assessment from the provided list.

Method Analysis for Anthropometry

  • Skin fold thickness (i): Directly measures body fat percentage via subcutaneous fat. It is an anthropometric method.
  • 24 hrs dietary recall (ii): Collects information on food consumed. This is a dietary assessment method, not anthropometry.
  • Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (iii): Measures muscle and fat reserves. It is an anthropometric method.
  • Blood Pressure (iv): Measures cardiovascular function. Not a direct anthropometric measure for nutritional status.
  • Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) (v): Assesses fat distribution. It is an anthropometric method.

Conclusion on Anthropometric Methods

The anthropometric methods for nutritional assessment among the choices are (i) Skin fold thickness, (iii) Mid Upper Arm Circumference, and (v) Waist Hip Ratio.

Therefore, the correct option is 4.
